Farmers registered under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana have good news. Now it is much easier to complete e-KYC and continue receiving the yearly financial support of ₹6,000.
The biggest update is that farmers no longer need an OTP. They can now complete e-KYC from home using their smartphones.
e-KYC Through Face Scanning
The government has made the process simple and farmer-friendly. Now, e-KYC can be completed by scanning your face through a mobile phone.
Farmers do not need to visit any CSC center or bank and do not have to stand in long queues. Everything can be done easily from home.
How to Complete e-KYC Using the PM Kisan Mobile App
Farmers need to download the PM Kisan Mobile App, which is available on the Google Play Store. After installing the app, they must log in using their mobile number or Aadhaar card.
Step-by-Step Process
Open the PM Kisan app and log in.
Select the e-KYC option.
Click on Face Authentication.
The camera will open—look directly into it with proper lighting so your face is clearly visible.
The system will scan your face within a few seconds, and if it matches, your e-KYC will be completed successfully.
Why e-KYC Is Important for PM Kisan Benefits
Without completing e-KYC, farmers may face issues in receiving their installment. In some cases, payments can get delayed or stopped.
This feature is especially helpful for farmers in villages who cannot easily visit CSC centers or banks, as it saves both time and money.
Under the PM Kisan scheme, farmers receive ₹6,000 per year, but e-KYC is compulsory to continue receiving this benefit.
The government has introduced this system to ensure that the money reaches the correct beneficiaries and to prevent fraud.
